Alright y'all; I've started a greenhouse at school and in the space of a couple weeks it's gone from the shed where the janitors kept their spare crap to this.

We're definitely going to grow carrots but I'd like advice on soil, what else to grow, where to get seeds, etc….

I intend to keep a barrel of water inside the greenhouse in order to feed the plants as a friend of mine has advised me that it will help to dissipate any chlorine or chemicals within the water.

As this board moves at an extremely slow pace I'll probably keep y'all updated weekly about the progress, even if this is just an empty board and I'm talking to myself.

The water butt is good advice. As for soil, with carrots it's best to aim for a sandy loam, allows for faster growth. Organic soil mix depending on whether you are adding nutes. Keep it moist. You can either sow the seed close together or grow in tubes. Either way forces the carrot down.
If you are aiming for no fuss, grow radishes, they are fucking easy. Also oriental salads.
Depending on your grow season it difficult to suggest stuff. My two personal favs are chillis (limon & ring of fire - both short dtm) and the yin yang bean. That fucking bean is so cool.

Still trying to get soil; might try afterschool tomorrow.

I highly recommend either an organic or high peat compost. Mix in some sharp sand where necessary. Avoid anything that says it's peat free or has a %peat lower than 70.
Basically some shit is just wood chips and an awful growing medium, the decaying wood sucks away all the nitrogen.

Ended up getting a bunch of what the guy described as "dirt and turkey poop".
